Product Information
Full details
The Soto Micro Torch Horizontal is an ultra-compact, pocket-sized blowtorch designed for outdoor enthusiasts, campers, and hobbyists who need a reliable ignition source in challenging conditions. Its key benefit is the windproof, high-temperature 1300°C flame that ensures lighting stoves or starting fires is effortless regardless of the weather. However, users should be aware that the torch arrives empty and requires a separate purchase of standard butane fuel for operation.

FAQs
Does this torch come with fuel?
No, the Soto Micro Torch Horizontal is shipped empty due to safety regulations regarding pressurized gas.
Can I use standard lighter fluid?
No, this device is designed specifically for butane gas.
How do I adjust the flame size?
Use the large knob on the side of the torch; turn it toward the '+' sign to increase the flame and '-' to decrease it.
Is the burner head protected?
Yes, the torch includes an integrated flip-cap to protect the nozzle from dust and accidental activation.
Can I use this with my camping stove fuel canisters?
Yes, but you will need the SOTO Fill Adaptor to bridge the connection between the threaded camping canisters and the torch.
Troubleshooting
Torch fails to ignite
Ensure the fuel reservoir is filled correctly and that the flame adjustment knob is not turned to the lowest setting.
Flame is inconsistent or sputtering
Check for air trapped in the fuel tank; let the torch sit for a few minutes after refilling before attempting to ignite.
Burner head is dirty
Use a small, dry brush or a puff of compressed air to clear away any dust or lint while the device is turned off and completely cool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your torch, hold it upside down and insert the tip of a standard butane lighter refill canister into the fuel valve located at the base. Press firmly for several seconds until full. For those using threaded camping stove gas canisters, you must use the official SOTO Fill Adaptor to transfer the fuel safely. For care, keep the burner head clean and always ensure the flip-cap is closed when the torch is not in active use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat, as the internal pressurized fuel can expand.
